Sure... If you plant the device in your head and plug it in!!!Really... What a dumb question!!

The unit operates by putting the hearing aid in a closed compartment and heating up the air in that compartment. This leads to lowering the humidity in the chamber which promotes the evaporation of any moisture in the hearing aid. If you can get your ear into the chamber it would work but what will you do with the rest of your head?

The company brochure says..."Humid environments, sweat, and moisture may clog the device and distort sounds. Consider using a hearing aid dehumidifier overnight." I'd bet changing the earpiece tip and/or tubing periodically might accomplish the same benefit.

I have a profound hearing loss and wear BTE Aids. There is a volume control button on the Jitterbug Phone that enables enhanced hearing.

No it works fine each time I use it but I allow several minutes before rinsing it out with a pointed rubber bulb filled with warm water. Give it time to work and when the ear is rinsed out large clumps of ear wax will come out as I hold my head over the sink ans squish the rubber bulb. I have extreme hearing loss through the years and my audiologist proclaims how clean my ears are when I go to see her every few months at the VA clinic. Caution, you should allow your ears to go a month between each ear cleaning because ear wax is a necessary thing to a point to avoid ear infection.

You should take the battery out because it lets that part of the hearing aid dry out.

I have been using it for my Audibel hearing aids for months and no problem. It appears to control the moisture problem that I was having. Can you check with your hearing aid center as to the temp.? I believe the temp is 113F.

Yes, though the boost is really very minimal. If you have more than moderate hearing loss, this item will not help much. Mine ended up in the trash.

I wear ear plugs when using. It's definitely loud, but saves me at least an hour when drying my car. You may irritate the neighbors, but you don't need it for that long when drying your car.

Yes, you can. Just dry it with a towel and let it get completely dry before plugging it back in.

My son wears hearing aids, so I am unfamiliar with the do's and dont's of cochlear implants. When we used the Dry Caddy we leave the batteries in the hearing aids.

Enclosing it in plastic may cause moisture to be trapped inside the tube and cause damage. If you use a dryer for your hearing aids put that device in there as well to help with moisture.

You put it in then massage the area just under the the ear opening and let them shake their heads and wipe the ear just to dry the outside and any really damp areas just inside.

I'm not sure what you mean by ear mold. However, you need to remove the batteries and leave the hearing aids in their most "open" position inside the hearing aid dryer.

Battery discharges power at a faster rate when subjected to higher a temperature and by design, this dryer is a "low-heat" oven. To get most from your battery, remove it from the device before drying it Also, opening the battery compartment of your hearing aid while drying, will enhance airflow, thus making drying more efficient.

Not at all, air dry works just fine, it's just like nail polish in the way it dries.

I wear a hearing aid, but when I use the headphones I don't. When my Sony TV is muted I can still hear it through the headphones, they have their own volume control. The only con is that the ear ushions don't last long.

Yes. When you open the lid the device shuts off. Just remove your hearing devices any time you want.
